Defensive publication

ABSTRACT

A DETERGENT BAR EXHIBITING EXCELLENT CURD DISPERSING CHARACTERISTICS, GOOD LATHERING PROPERTIES, AND A LOW WEAR RATE CAN BE PREPARED FROM A MIXTURE OF ABOUT 55-83% OF AN ALKALI METAL SOAP HAVING ABOUT 15-30% OF A C12 TO C18 ALPHA OLEFIN SULFONATE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT, AND FROM ABOUT 2-15% MOISTURE. THE SOAP MAY BE DERIVED FROM TALLOW COCONUT OIL MIXTURES OR THE BAR MAY BE FREE OF COCONUT OIL SOAPS. ABOUT 25-40 PERCENT OF THE ALKALI METAL SOAP MAY BE REPLACED WITH A MAGNESIUM SOAP TO IMPROVE THE HARDNESS OF THE BAR. THE ADDITIONAL INCLUSION OF UP TO 10% OF AN ALKYL ARYL SUFONATE, SUCH AS AN ALKYL BENZENE SULFONATE WITH A C5 TO C18 LINEAR ALKYL MOIETY, FURTHER ENHANCES THE LIME SOAP DISPERSION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BAR.

Int. Cl. Clld 1/14, 9/46 US. Cl. 252-121 No Drawing. 21 Pages Specification A detergent bar exhibiting excellent curd dispersing characteristics, good lathering properties, and a low wear rate can be prepared from a mixture of about 5583% of an alkali metal soap having about 15-30% of a C to C alpha olefin sulfonate dispersed throughout, and from about 2l5% moisture. The soap may be derived from tallow coconut oil mixtures or the bar may be free of coconut oil soaps. About 25-40 percent of the alkali metal soap may be replaced with a magnesium soap to improve the hardness of the bar. The additional inclusion of up to 10% of an alkyl aryl sulfonate, such as an alkyl benzene sulfonate with a C to C linear alkyl moiety, further enhances the lime soap dispersion characteristics of the bar.
